I have an old copy of MGI photosuite (now it is part of Roxio easy media creator suite) to try to edit it.

Just hit quote post above her post. :D

lol Gyress, yes just like that :P

Did you need some help with that image for your buttons? What you first need to find is the other end of the button. Look where ever the images for those buttons are on your computer and see if you can find the other end of it. Because of the type of button it is, I am truly assuming there is another piece of it somewhere as I don't think anyone would have created that button to be cut-off like it is. See if you can find a small image that looks like the other end of it. It may not be rounded, but it's definitely gotta be there unless you downloaded that particular graphic somewhere and didn't get that part that is.

As far as I can find That is the whole graphic. I have done a lot of editing on these types of things (at first my website buttons had to have the words in the graphic). My major roadblock at this time is TIME! as I said this is not my "real" job (my wife's words not mine).

Ok without the end, lets try an easier way. You could actually cut off the circle part and then use it as a repeatable, that would make it one long bar without making it look like it's cutting off the button ends. Just a thought there.

I have a button program from Likno that I need to reinstall anyways, so maybe I'll see if I can play with that this week and see if I can come up with a button for you that's close to what you're using or if you have something in mind that you'd like to see on a button you can let me know and I'll see if I can make you one. Been a while since I played with this program, but it was a lot of fun when I was using it before. Lemme know if you'd like me to give that a shot and if so I'll post the button in the forum for you to copy it if you want.

Hiya Gyress I went to your home page and I see the end of the button there, I hadn't looked there as your link takes you directly to the shop and I just never went to the home page. The button there has the end on it. I would say open this back up in your Shopping Cart Designer and just space your button area out a little bit and it should bring up the ends of the buttons for you so they don't look cut off.

Another thing you can do is shorten the image of the button for the shop area. I think moving the padding area in the SCD would be a lot easier though, it will just take up more space is all. If it's too much, give a try in shortening the button by removing part of the middle of the button area. If you want I can do this for you, but I'd need the button graphic to do it since your menu is using flash I am unable to get the image from the page.

I'm actually editing the button image right now. Now I wish I could remember where I got the image in the first place. I used CC Menu creator to make that menu. I had to get the image from somewhere.

HAHA I can relate lol, I have soooo many buttons and images that I've collected over the years and have no clue where many of them came from. Good luck on the editing then and I think that will make a much nicer appearance on your menu then too :)

I had to use a screen capture program to get a copy of the full button graphic. However I've finished the button upgrade and I also cleaned up the Logo image as well. It looks like that part of the shop is ready to go.

BTW: no matter what "size" image I used or how much padding, I could not get the end of the button to display. I finally had to cut down/shorten the button part of the image and add background color to it. See uploaded image.

Thanks to all for the support and assistance in making sure my shop looks as good as it can.
